....finished bottom of SL2 and lost to Highland League Cove Rangers 4-0 yesterday in the first leg of the play-offs. One of those teams whose results I look out for. Odds for a 5-0 win in the 2nd leg anyone?

I saw the last home league match there against Albion rovers. They were absolutely ghastly, no player positioning, no real strategy, most players couldn't even dribble properly.

After seeing that, I'll never ever criticise Pools performances again. It was that dire.

wonder if they,ll go into the scottish lowland league or try their luck in the northern league next season. they,re stuck out on their own no matter which league has em.

Think this point was covered in one of those articles on the HUST site - think they'll stay in a lowland league and hope to get back up quickly as, if they went into the northern league, they'd not want to get promoted due to the travelling that they would then have to do. Berwick to Dover? Berwick to Torquay?

Yes but it would be a hoot if in 5 or 6 years time the likes of Spenny, Darlo, York , South Shields and Berwick were all in the National League? Imagine the howls of complaint from the likes of Eastleigh.

Of course, in the same scenario I'm imagining Pools back near the top of League One...

And Blyth. And Whitby.

But, yes, we'd be on the cusp of League 1 by then
